Great video! I got your book, and I'm loving it! I haven't gotten to the character design chapter yet, but I'm looking forward to that and to these videos! I love how expressive your drawings are, and that's something I struggle with a lot. Do you have any advice about it?
Dear Brett, English is not my native language, I apologize in advance if I cannot express myself correctly. Drawing and a lot looking at other people's drawings I realize that there is something that is not talked about anywhere, something barely perceptible that distinguishes a good drawing from a bad (less good) one. In a drawing of a character (or an object) there is a kind of “energy” which forms shapes and lines flowing from one volume to another, and the extent to which this energy flows harmoniously determines the quality of the character, the balance of forms. I don't know what to call it, it is some form of composition, but not the global composition of the picture, but the “inner composition” of the individual character, its proportions and lines. Some artists don't even understand what I'm talking about when I try to explain it. It is clear from your drawings that you know it and have mastered it. If you know what I'm talking about, please respond. What's this thing called? And where can I find out more about it? Read, watch, listen, any source will be good. Thank you in advance, I hope you see this message.
THat's a great observation. I don't think it truly HAS a name. Some people call it "appeal" but I call it more rhythm and Flow. How the shapes flow and merge with each other in form or in gesture. So using big to little, busy to simple, and seeing how the eye "moves around" the character/prop/image all helps distinguish that feeling. At least in my opinion. Then you find people who agree with your design sense ;)
@@Brett2DBean Thanks, it's nice to know I'm not crazy. Is there any other way to find out more about this besides observation and drawing, has anyone ever talked about it, explained it?
always great work man! Looking forward to future installments
Glad you’re posting again! Also, great to meet you at LA comic con 😎
